You can acquire various useful benefits from the various Greek gods who try to escape from the underworld in Hades. Usually these perks come in the form of a Normal, Rare, or Epic strain. There are 12 Legendary Perks in the game, and each of them has a handful of Requirements that you must complete before unlocking them. If you do not meet these requirements, there is no chance that they will be waived for you during a race.
Once you meet these conditions, you can use various Souvenirs to increase the chance of knocking them down, use Eurydice's Refreshing Nectar or Breadcrumbs available at the Well of Charon.
